The cabinet as ja whole consists `ot a 'een` tral` note receiving"anddisplayingv mechanism with a Vtill r1r/,beneath and anked'on eachside byfvertical hoppers bb" adapted lto contain piles of packets ortrays of change for the notes. lnthe` illustration the hopper ZJ isassumed to contain packets of'change 85 for .l-'- notes and the hopperbpaclets'of change'for 10/- notes. The hoppers are fitted with deliveryvdrawersac an'd'cjrespec- Vnotes discharged fromA the note receiving;and

displaying mechanism, the last noteretai'ned I Atherein being'exhibited. through afsui'table 95' window al. p

The note receivingy and displaying?.mech'a-1.V nism is 'Operated bytherlo'wer Iende of' a* v vertically. mounted pivoted lever e'the upi"periend'e2 of which projects from-the case'loo and isfguided in asuitable slot 7". I

The' notes which are inserted through a slot gare received and held, soas to be feit? hibited between a pair of frames or loops 7L and z', theloop' z' being adapted at thef'next '.105 operation to pass through theother loop f and' transfer. the note to the"til1l"a*below^ and thenreturn to initial position tol receive f thenext note. j f

The pivotedy operating lever e is connected and the note displayingmechanism to a slide j which uncovers the note receiving slot g andmoves back the loop ZL so as to permit the insertion of a fresh note,all as in the said U. S. A. Patent No. 1,490,873.

According to the present improvements each-drawer c c is provided with aratchet rack having the teeth Z at the front and the teeth Z at the rearend respectively, cut iny reverse directions and two correspondinglyreversed pawls m 'n are provided. The said pawls ml and n are pivotallymounted above theracks Z Z and the tails of the said pawls are adaptedto engage with the opposite sides of the lower end of a depending levero suitably actuated from the note receiving and displaying mechanismwhich is in turn actuated Vby the operating handle, and adapted whenoperated by the sai-d handle to first raise one of the said pawls fm outof` engagement withV the corresponding racks Z which then permitsoutward movement of therdrawers,'and at the same time the other pawls nfall into engagement with the rear racks Z which in conjunction with thepawls n prevent the drawers being returned until fully drawn out.

The 'depending lever 0 is connected by a link o to a lever p turning onthe spindle 79 which carries the loop z' of the note receiv-y ing deviceand the saidflever p is connected to the loop h and plate j of thenotereceiving device, which plate is operated through the links 762 7c 7cfrom the lever e.' The spindle p is Yoperated through a link Q from arocking arm r bifurcated at its upper end and adapted to be engaged bythe pawls s at the lower end e ofthe operating lever e. By Vemploying abifurcated end to the rocking arm r the pawl is prevented from passingout of engagement with the arm r until a full stroke has been obtained.

A locking bolt t extends across the base of the cabinet between thedrawers and is normally held in central inoperative position by m-eansof opposing springs u. The said bolt t is adapted when operated toengage a hole in the side ofthe inoperative drawer, and for the purposeof operating the said locking bolt t the rack Z of each drawer isprovided on its side towards the rear end with an inclined projection orcam o so that when one change drawer is pulled out the cam fu thereonengages one end of the bolt :t and pushes the bolt endwise so that theother end passes into the hole in thek opposite rack and locks thecorresponding drawer against movement until the operated drawer isreturned to closed'positlon, when the locking bolt t is withdrawn bythesprings u.

The drawers or the racksthereon are fittedl with pins w on their sidesadapted to engage with the edges of curved cam faces formed on the endsof a pair of pivoted levers which are both connected by upwardly eX-'tor will be actuated and will show through the window Z which changedrawer was last operated.

In the top of the cabinet alongside the guiding slot f for the operatinghandle e is fitted a lock e adaptedto be operatedl by a key from theoutside so that the lock bolt e may be shot across the path of thehandlee to prevent the apparatus from being used until the handle is unlocked.Y ln order to keep the notes centralized with the window CZ, guideplates 5, Fig. l, are provided. 'lhe drawers c c areV fitted with rollers 6 to insure easy running. In order to give an audible indicationwhen the apparatus is operated the slide y' is adapted to operate a belll through the medium of a rearwardly extending arm 2 and a triggerdevice 3. Y

ln general use it will be seen that when a note is received theoperating handle e is pulled forward, the first portion of its move-`ment causing any note previously exhibited to be dischargedinto thetill a by the pawl s engaging with the bifurcated endofy the rocking armr and causing the loop i to pass through 'the loopfz.. The drawer isthen pulled out.v On further movement ofthe handle e the pawl s passesout of engagement with the rocking arm r and the latter and the loop z'fly back to normal position under the act-ion of a suitable spring. Theplate has now moved sufficiently far to uncover the note insertion slotg. Vhen the e parts are in this position the loop z, is tilted backwardsto receive a newly inserted note between the said loop L and the loopz'. A

new not-e is inserted and, should change be required therefor, thedrawer corresponding to the note value is pulled out, the pulling out ofthe drawer being now possible as the beforeinentioned forward movementof the operating lever e through the intermediate iio mechanismconsisting of links k la 7a2, plate j, loop 7L, lever p turning onspindle p, link 0 and lever 0 has caused the pawls m to be moved out ofengagement with the corresponding racks Z, thus releasing'both the'drawers c and c the pawls n having descended into engagement with thevracks Z.

The act of pullng out the drawer causes the pins fw on the side of theoperated drawer to engage the cam like lower ends of the correspondinglever and rock the indicator g/ to show which change drawer has beenoperated and Whether it corresponds to 'the last note inserted. Duringthe last mentioned movement the cam lv engages with one end of thelocking bolt t and pushes the latter endwise to lock the opposite draweragainst movement.

The operating handle e is now released with the result that the slot gis closed and the newly inserted note remains exhibited through thewindow d, being held ybetween the loops h and z' until the nextoperation. The tray containing the changeis removed from the drawer andthe latter pushed in to closed position. y

The drawer cannot be returned after a partial movement owing to theengagement of the pawl n with the corresponding rear racks Z.

The movement of the slide j actuates the bell l and gives an audiblesignal that the machine has been operated.

At the side of the cabinet towardsthe rear, hoppers are provided forstoring the empty Vchange trays which have been withdrawn.

Suitable windows 4 will be provided just above the drawers to show whenthe change lioppers require replenishing.

Only two sets of hoppers .and drawers are Y referred to but it isobvious that the number may be increased 'to correspond with thedifferent note values to be received in the cabinet, the mechanism beingsuitably modified.

What we claim as our invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent isl. A note receiving and displaying apparatus of the kind referred tohaving combined therewith, a change giving mechanism, consisting oflocking devices in the form of 'pawls and racks normally holding thechange giving mechanism against operation, locking devices in the formof pawls and racks whereby the change giving mechanism when released isheld against return movement until a full outward movement has beencompleted, and means for operating said pawls from the mechanism of thenote receiving and displaying apparatus. Y

prevents outward movement, a pawl coacting 3 with that portion of therack which prevents return movement, a depending rocking lever, tails onsaid pawls engaging the opposite sides of said depending rocking lever,means for operating said roc-king lever from the mechanism of the notereceiving and displaying apparatus. Y f

3. A note receiving vand displaying apparatus of the type referred tofor containing a supply of notes combined with a change giving mechanismconsisting of at least one change delivery drawer corresponding to thevalue of the notes, a locking device for each drawer consisting of asingle rack bar the teeth of which are cut in reversed directions andtwo correspondingly reversed pawls coa'cting with said rack teeth, alever engaging the tail's'of both said pawls, and means for operatingsaid lever from the mechanism of the note receiving and displayingapparatus.

l. A note receiving and rdisplaying apparatus of the type referred toadapted 'to Y contain a supply of notes having combined therewith, achange giving mechanism consisting of change delivery drawers corfresponding to the value of the notes, an oscillating indicator platemarked withnote values corresponding to the change giving drafwers,'apin ontlie side of each drawer, levers connected tosaid oscillatingindicatorv plate and having their lower ends located in the path of thepins on the corresponding drawers whereby the indicator is operated whenany one drawer is pulled out.
